About Programme

Supply chains are becoming more connected, data-driven and increasingly influenced by Artificial Intelligence. The Executive Programme in AI for Supply Chain and Operations – Batch 04, formerly known as the Executive Management Programme in Supply Chain and Operations Analytics – Batch 03, is designed to help professionals integrate AI with core supply chain principles to address contemporary challenges in planning, forecasting, inventory management, logistics, sourcing and operational decision-making.

The programme combines established supply chain frameworks with Generative AI, Agentic AI, predictive and prescriptive analytics, optimization and intelligent decision-making. Participants work with realistic supply chain datasets, explore practical AI applications and analyses business cases across industries, culminating in an applied capstone project.
